Thanks, beachlady! Sashiko is a form of Japanese quilting. Here is a link that more fully describes what it is. I'm going to try my hand at it with this quilt and see what happens. Will post pictures. My hubby is half Japanese so I have found the crest for the Japanese side of his family and will use it for the pattern.

IFW, that method of quilting sounds very interesting and very exacting. Good luck - looking forward to final quilt.
